League with fair prospects Of staying there.
Grace Pearce the umpire, has resigned.
President Young asked for his resignation.
Richardson, of the New Yorks, has been
unable to play on account of a sore hand.
The Athletics will play Larkin on first
base if the club can obtain another good
fielder.
Jerry DOrgan has been released by the
Hardfords. He has belonged to nearly
every league in the country.
Catcher Bennett has muscular rheuma-
tism. 1t skips all over his anatomy and
keeps him in continual hot water.
Dalrymple is now able to play and prob
ably will take part in the Pittsburg-New
York series, which begin on Monday.
Orr, the giant first baseman of the Nets,
has taken a big drop in batting, and will
have to hustle if he would rank among the
sluggers this year.
Maui, the Philadelphia pitcher who was
purchased at such a costly price of the
Nashville club, has developed into a great
left fielder and heavy batter.
For o good everyday from sunrise to sun
set sort of q catcher Brown is the Jim Dan
dy of them all. In the pitching line Tim
Keefe is entitled to the same credit.
At a meeting of the Eastern League held
at Waterbury, Conn, it Was voted to con-
tinue the League with four clubs, notwith-
standing the withdrawal of the Bridgeport
club.
Hanlon has been absent from the De-
troits in q game Of ball just once in four
years because of illness. He has now been
laid off for weak batting, Twitchell
taking his place.
Meyers, OF indianapolis, leads the League
catchers. He is strictly temperate and
drinks nothing stronger than tea. Meyers
is a great ball player and an ornament to
the profession.
Capt. Dunlap, the Detroit second base,
man, was seriously injured q few days since
in a collision with Thompson, the big
right fielder. Dunlap will not be able to
play for tel days.
Won der Abe will probably sign Buck

Albany, will cross bats with a Louisville
fat mems nine at the Baseball Parkin that

Deacon" White, of the Detroits, will
probably catch tomorrow. Manager Wat
kins says the Deacon" can catch as well
to-day as he could a score of years ago,
when he made his record in the Forest City
Club.
The way Johnnie Ward and Mike Kier-
nau are running bases is a caution. If Jim
O'Rourke could he induced to slide as Ward
and Tiernan do he would be n of the
best base runners and run-getters in the
League. But Jim won't slide.
There are not many shortcomings about
the work of Smith, the Brooklyn short-stop.
He is the peer Of Glasscock, the League
player. Smith plays a deep infeld, takes
desperate chances, and throws with mar
velOus accuracy and swiftness.
Manager S. C.. Ormsbee, of the Bling
hampton Club, has rendered his resigna-
ton as manager. The resignation has been
accepted, and Alonro Knight. of Boston,

aged the Athletics of Philadelphia for three
seasons, and last season played in right
field for the Rochesters.
Latham was fined 500 by Manager Won
der Abe, of the St. Louis Browns, lsst
Wednesday. The clipper third baseman's
conduct il the ninth inning Of the game
with the Nets did not please the
ager. Latham sang, danced and cracked
Jokes, while the Nets won the victory.
He also poked fun at Won der Abe, who
lost his temper on account of losing the
contest.
